Portuguese term or phrase: "Árbitro Común"
This is under the Arbitration Clause of this insurance policy I'm translating. Here goes the text:

"Fica expressamente convencionado que, caso surja qualquer controvérsia ou divergência quanto à interpretação dos termos e condições da presente apólice, assim como na evolução, ajuste e/ou liquidação de qualquer sinistro, estas deverão ser submetidas à decisão de um "Arbitro Comum" que o SEGURADO e a SEGURADORA nomearão conjuntamente."

I can't find anything about an "Árbitro Común" (perhaps a "typical / general arbitrator?), but here is my try on the sentence:

"In the event of any controversy or dispute in understanding the terms and conditions hereof, as well as in changes, adjustment and/or settlement of any claim, it is expressly agreed that these shall be submitted for decision by the "General Arbitrator" which the INSURER and INSURER shall appoint jointly."

Any thoughts on the above term?

agree  Adrian MM. (X): whilst the idea of a 'mutual or joint arbitrator' defeats the whole object of an avowedly objective exercise.
